William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was baptised April 26, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. We do not know the actual date of birth though we can guess that it is the 23rd of April.

Little of Williams childhood is known, though there is a very good chance that the school he attended was a school called the King's New School because he would have had free tuition.He would have had free tuition because he is the child of a public official.

William, at the age of 18, got married to Anne Hathaway. Anne was 26 years old....wierd right?

Anne was already pregnant when they got married, she had 3 children in total, one of them died at the age of 11, no one knows why. The children that William had with her were twins born on February 2, 1585, their first child was born two years earlier.

Shakespeare went completely missing for seven years, there are no records of this time of his life.

In 1592 William started acting as a profession. He also started writing plays at this time.
